A guide, on finding a man who has lost his way, brings him back to the right path—he does not mock and jeer at him and then take himself off.

Epictetus

Epictetus
Let silence be your general rule or say only what is necessary and in few words.
Epictetus
Reason is not measured by size or height, but by principle.
Epictetus
As it is pleasant to see the sea from the land, so it is pleasant for him who has escaped from troubles to think of them.
Epictetus
Man is troubled not by events, but by the meaning he gives them.
Epictetus
We must be afraid of neither poverty nor exile nor imprisonment of fear itself only should we be afraid.
Epictetus
No man is able to make progress when he is wavering between opposite things.
Epictetus
Shall I show you the sinews of a philosopher? What sinews are those? - A will undisappointed evils avoided powers daily exercised careful resolutions unerring decisions.
Epictetus
You become what you give your attention to...If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest.
Epictetus
